First Ride: Merida One-Twenty - A Mountain Bike for Mountain Bikers
I have often wondered why there aren't more short travel trail bikes made of alloy. The simple design seems perfect and there's less of a weight penalty than in more complex designs. People who think a pound or two would make a significant difference in performance for anyone other than a pro level rider....are drinking the Kool aid. I love carbon bikes but this is exactly what I want to see more of in the bike world.

Fizik Releases New Ergolace Gore-Tex Shoes
I think it is more that bike shoe companies don't take advantage of the softer compounds they offer. Vibram makes hundreds of compounds for all kinds of weather and terrain. If it isn't soft enough blame the shoe company, not vibram.

DVO Introduces New Onyx 38 Fork
My bike is not acoustic, it is a cappella. And there's a quartet of sounds from zzzzzzzzz (hub), woo-whish-crish woo wish-crish (tires), peesh peesh peesh (air springs), and wooooooooohoooooo (rider)

Review: TranzX EDP01 Wireless Electronic Dropper Post
@JiminOz: I'm with you brother. Over 30 years riding I've broken one chain, one shift cable, and one derailleur (all on road bikes). I've had no mtb drivetrain failures. I'd say drivetrains are darn reliable.

Review: TranzX EDP01 Wireless Electronic Dropper Post
@bmied31: I can definitely see a cable failure on something like my bike yoke droppers that use those stupid end pieces that you use a 2.5mm and 3mm wrench to tight that piece that fits into the actuator. Though I've never had it happen.
